When I saw the gentleman I new his isolation. My brain and my feelings accessed the image instantly. It saddens me that people do not grasp that a crowd of people walking down a street is communicating 'collective contentment.' It appears that many people can not see an individual standing apart in that crowd.
When I look at an artwork I care little for its technical merits. I just look and if I come back to it that means it has stirred something in me.
